Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Huntington, MA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Huntington patients can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance will need to be closely monitored and likely given certain medications that will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may need comprehensive supervision and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab facility once detoxification is finished. Many detox facilities work with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
